So, you might now know a bit about me and you’re wondering what this blog is going to be about? Well, the short answer is that I plan to cover a variety of topics inspired by my years of work in the knowledge management and content management domains. My posts will mostly be a reflection upon my own learnings and also occasionally (hopefully often?) some useful novel ideas for you to consider in your own enterprise.

To given you a sense of what that means, here are some topics I’m planning for future posts:

The content management lifecycle and how I see its relationship to a full content management solution for an enterprise

Novell’s knowledge management architecture and how it relates to our content management solution

The components of searchability (or is that findability?)

Managing a taxonomy and guidelines for such

Using a taxonomy within an enterprise

Types of taxonomies and how they are used

Communities of practice infrastructure and metrics

Search at Novell (including how we manage and enhance our search, how we manage our “best bets”, how we manage responsibilities for search and other exciting aspects!)

A discussion of how a taxonomy can be the “glue” in an enterprise dashboard

Folksonomy and tagging within the enterprise

Social bookmarking within the enterprise

Search logs and taxonomies (including “taxonomizing your search logs” – a term I picked up from Marilyn Chartrand of Kaiser Permanente at Enterprise Search Summit West 2007)

The role of a content architect in an enterprise

The use of blogs and wikis within the enterprise (along with RSS!)

And probably a host of other topics along the way. A lot of things to write about and share and I hope you find it interesting!
